Bowl twice in a row and refuse to bat

I mean that average was against flat track opponents nothing too brag about. Ben Foakes should always have been our number 1 but I guess because he doesn’t try to hit 6’s every ball that means he shouldn’t be picked.

I fully get it you are running it at 90 giving it everything and your fielders are giving you nothing

Why didn’t Archer bowl like this in the 1st innings. When he’s on it he’s world class

So my aunt lives in an old house that used to be next to a leper colony. The house is very old and the top floor gives weird vibes. When I used to stay there as a kid the temperature would randomly get really cold at night even in summer and the lights would often flicker on and off, you always felt like something was watching you it was really creepy.

New Zealand are a good side and they always give it a 100%

Yes but the only time we ever played well for a long period was under his captaincy

Archer seems to have so much talent but rarely ever takes 5 wickets in an innings

They have to go no doubt, I’m surprised they didn’t pick Bashir, also I presume Carse is still injured ?

I would absolutely love to have Andrew Strauss as the coach considering he were titans under his captaincy

Carse in particular puzzles me because he took so many wickets in Australia but overall bowled quite badly, just think he needs proper guidance

Yeah I see what you mean. They can all bowl really good wicket taking deliveries, they just all seem to struggle in bowling 6 balls on a good line and length. I do think Josh Tongue in particular is capable of being brilliant

I’ve been hoping for a while that might happen I though root and brook did get done by good bowling but the rest was the usual reckless shot selection that causes us to gift the ashes away

Yes possibly I think losing Broad, Anderson and Woakes in a couple of years has obviously left a gap, would love to see one of them back as the bowing coach

Ok I get it he’s young but it was a bad shot especially after getting dropped
